[PATCH RFC 1/3] mm: When CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is set, use DMA32 for SLAB_CACHE_DMA

From: Nicolas Boichat
Date: Fri Nov 09 2018 - 03:25:06 EST


Some callers, namely iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s, expect the physical
address returned by kmem_cache_alloc with GFP_DMA parameter to be
a 32-bit address.

Instead of adding a separate SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 (and then audit
all the calls to check if they require memory from DMA or DMA32
zone), we simply allocate SLAB_CACHE_DMA cache in DMA32 region,
if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is set.

Fixes: ad67f5a6545f ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA with ZONE_DMA32")
